I had a really hard time taking photos of these cards.. First of all, it is after three o'clock in the morning and also because of the shimmer and gloss on the paper. These cards definitely look MUCH better in real life. In fact, I am very happy how they have turned out.. If you click on the pictures below, they will enlarge and you might be able to see the details better.
I call the card below "White Elegance". White metallic paper by Bazzil, the Poinsettia stamp is from Penny Black (Sandy, thank you for helping me pick up this stamp today!!). Poinsettia was heat embossed with the gold embossing powder and then colored with the Pearlascent watercolors. This card measures 6" x 6".
Edited to add.. I got quite a few questions about this card today, so I decided to take a minute and answer all of them here.. This card is very simple, really.. I used white pearlasent cardstock for the card base and all off the layers. There are three squares on the front of the card, the main image was heat embossed on the smallest one and then I used Scor-Pal to dry emboss the frame around on its perimeter, that creates the illusion of an additional layer. The swirly things are the negative parts of the Cuttlebug corner die cut (I used the corners on the inside of the card). Hope this answers your questions.. :)
On the second card I used one of my favorite Magenta stamps, LOVE IT!! This stamp is called Santa and Child, 95.164L. Since the image has such an "old world" feel, I used the Cracked Glass technique on this card. Noel stamp is by Penny Black. This card measures 4 1/2" x 6".
And, don't forget about my CHA Blog Candy. For details and to enter, please visit this post.

Love both cards. Did the card come embossed on the first one? Love the crackle look on the second card. Both are stunning
Very elegant cards. If I had to pick, I would choose the first one. Is this done with the nesties? TFS
How ELEGANT! Oh I see the last gal used that word, but it just comes to mind...elegant.
Very beautiful cards! I love layering you created on the first card! And crackle looks fantastic!
Both cards are gorgeous. Love the idea of doing Christmas card classes all year!!!
I love all of your cards and all the projects you come up with. Wish I live in CA so I could attend one of your classes. You're a great inspiration to me.
